in relation to your desire “to say something about all this violence in a way in which you can transform pain…” check what Elia Suleiman, Palestinian writer/director says about the transformative power of cinema (link below). if you get a chance, see his film ‘Divine Intervention’
That’s one of the beauties of cinema – it allows us, variously to fill the gap between what we think we know, and the world beyond us that we should Discover – and even when we do this, we realise how little we know. And most often, the desire to look beyond ourselves continues.
